Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MLA Aaditya Thackeray has slammed the current three-party government in Maharashtra under Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, saying the state is lagging behind in terms of employment and industrial investment.

He claimed that Eknath Shinde, then a cabinet minister in MVA government, had come to the residence of the Thackeray`s (Matoshree), in May 2022, and cried over the shoulders of the then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. "Shinde urged Uddhavji to save him from the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and told him that the BJP will implicate him in cases and put him in jail," Aaditya said, reported news wire PTI.
